Mr Lunch has a grand adventure in a borrowed canoe So many birds out there to chase
This book holds a special place in my personal canon because it's the first picture book I read aloud to a group of kids as a librarian that allowed me to share their delight Seibold and Walsh's books are some of the weirdest out there but because they're totally unapologetic and have absolutely no ulterior motives they are IMO some of the best picture books aroundMr Lunch is a black and white dog who owns a bird seed company He borrows an elephant's canoe and sails it all the way to Venice where he has it customized and returns it to the elephant in better shape than when he received it That's it That's the whole bookIn between he has a zillion weird encounters and still somehow manages to captivate little kids and make their librarian smile and feel like she's stumbled upon a very underappreciated treasure J Otto Seibold along with Jon Agee and a very small contingent of others are in a class by themselves in the world of modern picture books
Once you've read this book 50 times you can convert it to a song for your 2 year old to the tune of Yankee DoodleMr Lunch borrowed a canoe And he went to Venice;He chased the birds out of St Mark's They were such a menaceMr Lunch saw some boatsIncluding a rustbucket;Mr Lunch sailed back homeAnd gave his canoe to the elephant
I like Seibold's art but I wasn't as fond of the Mr Lunch books They're cute but they don't linger in my mind as great stories the way Olive the Other Reindeer does
The illustrations are very cool and the narrative is uirky and fun Mr Lunch is a dog and a professional at chasing pigeons
Let's just talk about how sad I am that these books are no longer in publication I can't find my old copy of this one Hella lame
Fun story and great illustrations
